Not able to deploy S2D on MR416i-a

[source-master]

Dear Community,

we're trying to deploy a S2D Cluster. 
We're facing problems with the harddrives. They're not seen by OS as direct attached.
They're configured as JBOD and the bus type is shown as RAID.

What could we do or do we have to configure?

Best regards.

Hi source_master,
     As I understood your issue.  Here you can choose any one of the option-
Option 1) If you keep the all the disks out of RAID configuration in MR controller. You can see the disks as JBOD and can be used as standalone disk for OS.

Option 2) If you want to configure RAID, then convert the JBOD status to UGOOD status, add to array. so that the disk can be used with RAID. To configure this, MRSA or StorCLI is required to be installed as administration tool.
Steps using StorCLI: 
a) ./storcli64 /c0/<enclosure ID>/sall  show #shows the current status of array and disks.
b) ./storcli64 /c0/<enclosure ID>/<slot number> set good force #sets the disk from JBOD to UGOOD state.
        Ex.  ./storcli64 /c0/e252/s2 set good force
c) ./storcli64 /c0/e252/s6 insert dg=0 array=0 row=0  #inserts the disk into the array.
d) ./storcli64 /c0/e252/s6 start rebuild #It rebuilds the array. Note that, please use this command if required.
e) you can see all the disks are in array with online state.

I have the same issue, Even the DISK are marked as JBOD, the S2D sees the disk BUS type as RAID, so we tried both JBOD and brining the Drives to UGOOD -> RAID0 for each drive, 

Still it is shown as RAID under BUS type, S2D supports only NVMe, SSD and SAS.
